For more than two decades, Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa has been one of the Wairarapa’s most trusted and loved wedding venues — proudly hosting over 1,000 weddings.

As we enter our final season before closing in August 2026, we are offering a limited number of Autumn and Winter celebrations, including exclusive whole-venue weddings and beautifully curated elopements.

A Rare Opportunity — 50% Venue Hire (June–August 2026)

To celebrate our final chapter, venue hire is available at half price from June through August, creating an exceptional opportunity for couples seeking an elegant countryside wedding with meaningful value.

Winter at Brackenridge is intimate and atmospheric — open fires glowing, fairy lights twinkling, and guests relaxing onsite across our peaceful 14-acre retreat. With accommodation available for family and friends, your celebration becomes more than a day — it becomes a shared experience.

Planning on Short Notice? Consider an Elopement

For couples who prefer something simple, romantic and sooner rather than later, our elopement packages offer a seamless and stress-free way to say “I do” in a beautiful private setting.

Elopements are ideal for:

• Short lead times

• Smaller guest numbers

• Winter celebrations

• Couples seeking intimacy over scale

Our experienced team will guide you through every detail, ensuring your day feels effortless and deeply personal.
